Income

The income limits for Non-MAGI vary according to family size and program category. Income is used to determine if an individul/family is eligible for free Medi-Cal or Medi-Cal with a Share of Cost (SOC). Income over the limit becomes the monthly SOC, which is similar to a monthly deductible. It is the amount of medical expenses that a Medi-Cal beneficiary must pay before Medi-Cal will cover any medical expenses. If Medi-Cal is not used in a given month, no SOC will need to be paid that month.

Depending on the program category, there are certain deductions allowed to reduce the net countable income. There are also certain types of unearned income that are not countable, such as CalWORKs grants.
